Michael J Heard, MD

I am pregnant now with Dr. Heard’s help!!! So happy, thankful and appreciated. In the past 2 years, the only things I observed were the high turnover rate (4 staff leave in a few months that made me worried) and staff’s overwork. I think they only have one nurse now and others are medical assistant. The only nurse is extremely busy. If she is sick or take off for any other reason, it seems they won’t have a nurse in the office for that period of time. As a patient, I am concerned of professional’s health (enough rest?) and mood status (happy to work on many weekends), which may impact their performance. Maybe that’s what it is at a small private clinic?

Great Doctor he helped me and my husband conceive our first child.
Forever grateful for his help.
His staff is great they always take your calls, emails at any time.
I would recommend anyone seeking help conceiving to visit him!
Small office which is great you are not considered just another FILE another PATIENT but a person.
Thank you Doctor Heard and Staff.

Thank you Dr. Heard for sending me to get a 3D mammogram. Because of you I am writing this review.
I came to Dr. Heard because my OBGYN/​Endocrinologist retired and he highly recommended him to all of his patients. What a great guy. I just loved him instantly. He takes time. Genuine time – to talk to you. He shows interest in you and your health. That seems to be a rare things these days as we are often rushed through cattle shoots when it comes to medical care.
I made an appointment through his office for my mammogram. It was a really cool place in Houston and they did a 3D mammogram. That was a new experience. I had to go back and then they did a biopsy.
Dr. Heard delivered the news to me on August 24, 2015 that I have breast cancer. It felt like the floor disappeared. My world forever had changed. It was because he had me go have a 3D mammogram that my cancer was detected.
If it was not for him, no telling how long it would be in me growing. He recommended that I see Dr. Bonefas, a well known surgeon, she took it from there.
Dr. Heard is a wonderful man and a fine doctor. I highly recommend him. I owe him my life.

My initial impression of Dr. Heard was great, however after undergoing a treatment, I was not impressed. I was charged close to $ 5,000 for ONE IUI treatment, between his charges and the outrageous quantity of medication ordered for me. It was obscene and also not the price that I was initially quoted. We just kept getting bills after our unsuccessful treatment months after the fact, all for differing amounts. Dr. Heard did not do any initial pre-​treatment testing besides simple blood work and an ultrasound… no HSG test, no sonohysterogram, no hysteroscopy. As it turns out, IUI will not ever work for me and any truly terrific doctor who looks at my history would know that. Thanks for wasting my time and money. Worst of all, he said that he thought we’d have success with this one treatment… he just felt we’d have no problems at ALL. He was wrong and in my opinion, should not have ever said something like that to us as it sounded an awful lot like some sort of guarantee of success. We were devastated when it didn’t work out. I felt kind of set up for failure there. I honestly prefer working with larger clinics with more standardized operating procedures. This clinic felt very wishy washy.

Helped me get pregnant!

I gave two stars because I have had issues with receiving the wrong prescription TWICE now. Each time I had an issue I had to leave a message on an answering machine and my call was returned next day. Dr. Heard did not give me my prescription for a whole year, instead he only gave me one for 3 months and I had to call when my prescription was no longer good. This caused a lot of issues with my insurance and I’ve now had to pay for retail price for my prescription TWICE due to issue with my prescription.
The clinic itself is homey with pictures on the walls of children that Dr. Heard has delivered. Dr. Heard himself is very nice and friendly and made sure to give me lots of freebies when I left his office. The main issue is that I’m now dealing with a headache of a mess with my prescriptions over and over again.

Dr. Heard is hands down the best doctor, of any kind, that I’ve ever had. I’ve been his patient since 2008 and have no complaints. He is a very thorough diagnostician. He spends time with you, LISTENS to you, and takes the time to explain things to you.
I’ve always had symptoms that although were very severe and problematic, they are pretty common. In the very first visit, he diagnosed a problem that could have caused irreversible damage if left untreated. He took the time to deal with my symptoms and never gave up. I had learned to live with severe pain over the years believing that it’s normal. I don’t like to cause trouble so if my doctors tells me it’s not uncommon when I tell them my pain gets so severe I’m doubled over in a ball, on and off, for days and sometimes weeks at a time and sometimes see black spots or vomit or both, I take it to mean I’m just being a baby. I pop a few extra ibuprofens and smile harder. It’s amazing what you can tolerate over the years when you feel like there’s no other choice. Dr. Heard gave me a choice, helped me deal with my symptoms, and greatly improved my quality of life.

Dr. Heard has been working with my wife and I for several months and we have been so happy working with him. Dealing with infertility as a couple can be very stressful, but Dr. Heard’s demeanor is such that he calms you down when explaining things.
We tried another fertility center before going here that is very big in Houston and advertises extensively, but we were very disappointed by the lack of attention, we felt like a we were a number, and that we were going through an assembly line. Dr. Heard’s clinic is small and he does all of the procedures himself, not a technician. Highly recommended.
